Greetings metadata librarians, digital librarians, et al.,
Below is a list of digital library-friendly sessions for Midwinter 2007. Will you be attending the conference? Will you be taking notes? Would you like to become involved with NRMIG, while also assisting your peers who aren’t able to attend these sessions? Would you like to fully embrace library 2.0 by becoming a NRMIG blogger?
If so, please e-mail Jen Wolfe at jennifer-wolfe@uiowa.edu with your name, e-mail address, and preferred session. Blogging instructions will be forthcoming.
Thanks!
Jen Wolfe
